Sunrise, I think it was good that you could distance yourself from this issue while in the meeting. If you really think about your response during the meeting do you think you were really bored? Or was it something else? Could your boredom be a front for something else?
I hope you were very clear and forceful about your concerns with exposing your kids to this content. I hope that through these meetings you can establish clear rule that he will follow.
Now regarding YOU. I think you need to vent your feeling somewhere. I definitely get the dreaded depressed feelings when things happen and I leave them trapped inside. I wish I could invite you out for a beer.
I would be very outraged if my husband did that. I know others may have different views; but I would view his watching porn in my presence as disrespectful. I know this is something that couples share and that totally OK with me--IF it's a shared thing. However, if it is something he enjoys but I found offensive, then it would NOT be OK for him to bring it into our bedroom. I would be even more enraged if he couldn't turn it off while I was trying to have an important conversation with him. That to me is worse than being shushed because a football game was on.
Sunrise, how do you really feel about his viewing porn while you were trying to talk with him? Let it out!
